"Wishing you all a very Happy Holi. May this festival of colours, which is a symbol of mutual love, affection and brotherhood, bring every colour of happiness in your life," PM Modi said in a tweet in Hindi.

Marking the onset of the spring season, Holi is a festival of colours, symbolic of joy and victory of good over evil.


Even though Holi is a predominantly Hindu festival, it is celebrated by people of other faiths as well. It marks the arrival of the spring harvest season in the country. People celebrate the festival by binging on some lip-smacking sweets, 'thandai' and splash coloured powder, water, and balloons while chanting "Holi Hai".
